overexposed shitty pic:
on the left, a 70s (i guess) MIJ "AZTEC" Tele. I've become a sucker for a good ole Tele. I suspect it might have been at the Ibanez factory or so. Sounds and feels killer, has a kill switch added and 6 Strat saddles, otherwise all original with Gotoh(-eque?) tuners. String thru and it even has the original ashtray bridge cover!
then there's this 70s (I guess) no-brand MIJ SG. Has "Deluxe" on the TRC but inlays like a Custom, oh well. It came in a smoker's case and didn't make a sound at all. I went thru all the pots and switches with DeoxIt and now she roars. It was SOAKED in nicotine so i had to give it a deep-cleansing with clorox wipes, the case is still on the balcony getting some fresh air. This SG has the best neck, a nice smooth neck joint (yes it's bolt-on, too!) unlike the Ibanez SGs i have.
--> yeah i know, up to a coulpe of months ago i was all "i can't do a thing with a Tele or an SG" ... and now i have 5 of each, i think...
but they ARE amazing beaters to be beat around!last but not least a 60s Höfner 4572WMZ, full hollow body with on-board Fuzz and Wha (and "sound mix")! Dunno if i will get along with the neck (it feels kinda round, weird radius i tell you!!!). Neck pickup has been modified, it seems. I'll put new strings on it now and see what happens.
Thrilled to be able to stay indoors this shitty, rainy day!
